Every problem of an Android user is how to reduce data usage on his or her smartphone, in fact, I also face such problems like when I subscribed for 3gb data plan, I use it for just two weeks or even less.

It's wasn't appealing at all, so I decided to make my own research on data usage reduction, and I came across this helpful tips and decided to share.

HOW TO REDUCE DATA USAGE ON YOUR SMARTPHONE.

1. TURN OFF ALL GOOGLE PLAY STORE UPDATES.

Google play store tends to automatically update your apps without your own permission. Many apps get updated frequently and are really big downloads. I recommend you completely turn off automatic updates.

Steps To Turn Off Auto Updates on Google Play Store.

1. Go to Play store.Step

2. Open settings from the side menu.

3. Tap on Auto-Update apps.

4.Select “Do not Auto-Update” or “Auto-update over WiFi only”.

2. LIMIT BACKGROUND DATA USAGE.

To get a complete detail of mobile data usage on Android, you can head to “Settings > Data Usage”. Here you can see the apps that consume most data, both foreground and background. If you don’t use an app much and it still uses alot of background data, or you don’t want a specific app to use mobile data, you can change it here.

3. RESTRICT BACKGROUND DATA.

The most effective way to reduce data usage on Android is to restrict background data for all apps. This means apps update and sync only when opened. Apps use data only when required. It should be noted that you may not receive notifications on time, but it saves a huge amount of data.Background Data Can Be Restricted Using the Following Steps :

1. Go to Settings.

2.Tap on data usage.

3. Open the 3 dot menu on top right and tap on “restrict background data”. And you done, this is the most effective way of reducing data usage.

4. USE COMPRESSION WHILE BROWSING.

A large portion of Android mobile data usage is Web browsing. Most people use browsers like chrome to visit a lot of heavy websites. But what users don’t know that many browsers have inbuilt data savings mode, which compresses web pages to reduce data usage on Android. You Can Enable Data Saver In Chrome By

1. Lunch Chrome.

2.From the menu, open settings.

3.Scroll down to “Data Saver” and turn it on.

5. DISABLE IN-APP AUTO PLAY.

Almost every android user has heavy apps like Facebook and Twitter installed on their phone. Many people stream music via apps like YouTube, Spotify etc. These apps have features like preloading and auto play which enable them to load videos in background and play as soon as you scroll to them. This feature is a huge data hogger. It is strongly recommended to turn such features for the apps that have them to reduce data usage on Android. Better still, it's advisable to use lite apps to drastically reduce data usage.

I think these five tips are awesome and helpful, I bet you won't get disappointed when you try these.

When using your smartphone, it's tends to get overheat during usage, it is sometimes caused by over use of your smartphone. Some apps can also be a remedy for it, apps likes Facebook mobile app, Facebook Messenger and other high usage apps.

Though there are some ways to prevent overheating on your smartphone, I have successfully listed the top 5 ways to prevent such.

Overheating may also be caused by a malfunctioned battery or a battery that does not suit the phone or apparently batteries that are not authorized.

FIVE WAYS TO PREVENT OVERHEATING ON SMARTPHONES.

1. ADJUST NETWORK SETTINGS:

Network is number one thing causes overheating, hence sucks your battery. Its better you set it to choose the preferred available network parameters or AUTO instead of 4G or 3G only because its causes overheating especially when downloading large files.

2. DISABLE APPS NOT COMMONLY USED

Allowing apps you’re not using to run in the background runs battery and increases the heat on your phone. You may have thousands of apps, try and review them and uninstall or disable those you not using.

3. CHANGE LOCATION IF YOU ARE HEAVILY USING YOUR SMARTPHONES.

Sometimes, you should change your location to a cooler place, staying in a stuffy place can lead to overheating. Do this when you want to make use of your phone in an heavy way.

4. FOR IPHONE USERS.

You can check the diagnostics section to see what apps have been crashing on your phone. Go to Settings > Privacy> Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostics& Usage Data for a list of every situation where an app crashed.

We all know that Instagram is a top leading social network world wide. We all love the amazing features of Instagram like uploading videos and pictures, Instagram does not provide the feature to be able to download videos directly from Instagram and people have been downloading third party apps just to achieve their aim.

But today, am going to show you how to see and watch your recently watched videos on Instagram. Do you know that when you watch a video on Instagram, the video automatically save to your phone memory but people do ignore it but I will show you where the videos are on your phone memory.

In this tutorial, you don't need to download the video using third party apps, just watch and it will automatically be saved to your phone memory, follow the steps below.

HOW TO SEE YOUR WATCHED VIDEO ON INSTAGRAM ON YOUR PHONE MEMORY.

1. I will recommend ES file Explorer for this, but if you can use your normal file manager.

3. Now you will see files like a13bdk23.clean, if they are many that means you are a constant user of Instagram 😁.

4. Normally, the files can't open, so to convert those files to your watched videos, you will need to rename the file. For example, the first file abcf13sf.clean, you will need to rename it to abcf13sf.mp4, to rename hold the file till it's brings some options below the screen.

5. After that, you can now watch the video again, rename every file and you will see all your Instagram videos.

So you can see how simple it is, you don't need to watch and download, that's waste of MB. Just watch and it will be saved.
